An introduction in a WebQuest does just that - introduces the topic and tells the students what they will be exploring.
All students learn differently and at different rates. What technology will you use to connect with your students and to meet their needs?
The task is an important part of a WebQuest. It provides a goal and focus for the students and it makes the teacher's intentions concrete. A well designed task is doable and engaging, and elicits thinking in learners that goes beyond rote comprehension.
Today you will use this webquest to investigate differentiated instructional strategies and technology tools/resources. Either alone or with one or two colleagues, determine how to incorporate these resources/tools and create a differentiated lesson integrating technology that will help students achieve success in your class.
The evaluation lets the students know what is expected of them and how they will be assessed.
Begin with the end in mind! Be sure sure to let your students know how they will be assessed and provide rubrics to measure the product as objectively as possible. A good rubric leaves little room for question.
